Microsoft launch their next-generation server products at an event in Los Angeles, and there's some all-too-predictable 'features' they wanted to talk about.


The products officially launched at the event are Windows Server 2008 – a replacement for the current Windows Server 2003 R2 – along with SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 for all the application developers out there.

The new Windows release addresses several major user requirements and issues with Microsoft’s server operating system platform, including toughening up security and authentication options, as well as providing a platform for its new virtualisation technology, Hyper-V.

Kicking off more than 225 events around the world, and joined by over 4,000 customers and partners, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer showcased the next generation of infrastructure and application platform products, including Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
